Glorious morning to kick off lambing. Welcome to the world Quilt! He's a bit premature and more than a bit hopeless, but after a bit of assistance, he is doing well. His mother Smali Oddrun is a lovely calm and attentive mother, especially for a first timer. She stood perfectly quiet while I tried and tried to get him to latch on. I had to milk her and get some of her beautiful rich colostrum in so that he had the energy to keep trying and learn his way. They are comfy in the barn for safe keeping while he finds his feet properly.
